churlita: i think anytime people feel moved to get out and vote, it’s a good thing.
cheryl: thanks! although i’ve had some crappy versions of cab drivers, too – i just happened to luck out this time.
tracy lynn: amen, sister.
dave2: you’re totally right – you have to seize these opportunities as the present themselves.
pants: it was pretty emotional, wasn’t it?
claire: you know, i did kind of feel like i was representing all of bloggerdom that day…
sizzle: thanks – i’m so glad i went!

I don’t live somewhere where people fall into the streets to celebrate this sort of thing. It’s nice to see the crowds on tv, but seeing your ground-level shots and reading this post was better, more real and exciting in a one-of-us-was-there sort of way. Bloggers represent!

My eyes welled up watching it from the couch in my pajamas, I can only imagine what it must have been like to be there. Thank you for going and sharing your pictures and experience!

Some moments are history-defining in every way… if you have the opportunity to be a part of them, you kind of have to do it, so I’m very happy you went. And it was worth it. Beautiful shots!

I feel exactly the same way, like the America I live in is closer to the America that people talk about when they are being patriotic.

It feels so good to like America again, presidents and cab drivers alike (because I’ve experienced some crappy versions of both). I’m so glad that you went to the rally, and that you’re the kind of person who talks to strangers.

Awesome post. It’s so true. Who knows what Obama can do, but I’m excited to see. I’m also excited that so many people voted and that I’m not embarrassed of my president for the first time in a long time.
